We present the first space-based microlens parallax measurement of an isolated star. From the striking differences in the lightcurve as seen from Earth and from Spitzer (~1 AU to the west), we infer a projected velocity ~ ṽ 250 km s hel 1, which strongly favors a lens in the Galactic Disk with mass =   M M 0.23 0.07 and distance =  D 3.1 0.4 kpc L . An ensemble of such measurements drawn fro...

The photoelectron (PE) spectra of l-(4-pyrimidyl)-2-(3-pyridyl)-ethene 1, l-(2-pyrimidyl)-2(3-pyridyl)-ethene 2, l-(4-pyridazinyl)-2-(3-pyridyl)-ethene 3, l-(3-pyridazinyl)-2-(3-pyridyl)ethene 4 and l-(2-pyrazinyl)-2-(3-pyridyl)-ethene 5 all in their trans conformations have been recorded using Hel radiation. Comparisons with the PE spectra of styrylpvridines, dipyridylethenes and diazabenzenes...

Due to the development of information technology (IT), it has been applied to various fields such as the smart home, medicine, healthcare, and the smart car. For these fields, IT has been providing continuous prevention and management, including health conditions beyond the mere prevention of disease, improving the quality of life. e-Healthcare is a health management and medical service to prov...

A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to determine 12 zones of upand downwelling in the southern part of the Baltic Sea. On the basis of a seven-year numerical simulation, the annual frequency of upand downwelling events in various regions was analysed, their vertical velocity evaluated and the probability of their occurrence for different wind directions calculated. Verification of t...

Objectives: To assess referee bias with respect to fouls and penalty kicks awarded by taking explanatory factors into consideration. Design: We present a novel Bayesian network model for assessing referee bias with respect to fouls and penalty kicks awarded. The model is applied to the 2011-12 English Premier League season. Method: Unlike previous studies, the model takes into consideration exp...

These days, the issue of diversity is very familiar to us. This is likely due to the advent of the phenomenon of a multi-cultural society. Naturally, concern and research about urban space and diversity has risen. The strategies of the EU based on ‘intercultural strategy’ contribute to the development of cultural diversity. The representative example is ‘Intercultural City Project’. The zones f...

Smart home technology provides benefits for the elderly in six primary categories: safety, health and nutrition, physical activity, personal hygiene and care, social engagement, and leisure. Safety is about detecting and mitigating, if not removing, hazards from the user’s environment. Social engagement relates to the smart home functions that allow the elderly to combat social isolation, such ...

Automatically evaluating word order of MT system output at the sentence-level is challenging. At the sentence-level, ngram counts are rather sparse which makes it difficult to measure word order quality effectively using lexicalized units. Recent approaches abstract away from lexicalization by assigning a score to the permutation representing how word positions in system output move around rela...
